There are at least half dozen here in my town but I never see the owners out in them, only parked at shows.
I get the boat thing...but it won't be an impulse buy.

Car shows aren't my thing...I like to keep moving.

cold days (he just finished his so no there yet)

I had a Gt350r clone for a while that was a gutted street legal
race car Very fast and fun to drive but I would not take it on
real long drives

My Pantera is a well setup track car that I have taken to Vegas and back,
Montery all the time. It has recaros and an overdrive 5 speed
Very comfortable and a blast to drive.

If you are just thinking spirited short drives then
and it goes fast and handles well it is
hard to lose that great feeling of driving them
The problem is most don't really drive their cars
To me that is what they are for. If no track event then take
it out for an early morning spin with no traffic

Good points Bob.

Yes, it would be for spirited shorter drives. No traffic to speak of.

Summers here are fairly mild, so that helps too.

If the Cobra is too annoying to live with, a mid-year sidepiped Vette roadster is the next choice.
